SPECIAL FEATURES
- SORCE Cannons - all turbolasers utilize SORCE technology.
Strengths:
- Sensor Dish: sporting an enormous dish, the Vigil II excels in long range sensor detection, able to intercept and transmit long range signals. This makes the Vigil ideal for scouting missions.
- Alpha Strike: While each turbo laser on the Vigil is turreted, they are ideally situated for firing forward, enabling the small frigate to concentrate every single turret on a single point in an "alpha strike" to maximize firepower.
- Firing Arc: Only two light turbo lasers lay on the belly of the Vigil, rendering the bottom of the ship somewhat soft. Only two light turbo lasers are mounted near the rear, but their limited firing arcs give them a poor aim on any ship directly to the Vigil's rear. Thus, rendering the ship very vulnerable to fire from its six o'clock.
- Turning Radius: As with most imperial warships, it sacrifices mobility for speed.
The Vigil II is not a new design. Refurbished and updated for modern use, this small, hardy vessel barely squeezes into the frigate designation. Although primarily suited for solo patrol of Imperial trade routes hunting pirates, the Vigil II can also serve as an escort and a long-range reconnaissance vessel.
Seeking to preserve structural integrity, the Vigil II does not have a hangar. Instead, the frigate carries its sole troop shuttle and complement of TIEs on a ventral rack.
This vessel is part of the 7th Fleet Initiative, which aims to furnish the Galactic Empire with a series of modern, combat ready warships to better protect Imperial interests.
Perhaps most noticeable about 7th Fleet Initiative designs is their incorporation of SORCE turbolasers, purchased from Silk Holdings. The SORCE model allows ships to consolidate their barrel count while maximizing energy output. Meaning that while 7th Fleet designs might sport fewer guns overall than contemporaries, their broadsides do no less damage.
